"MY BRIGHT STAR IN THE NIGHT"

CHRISTMAS EVE HAS COME AND GONE
AND CHRISTMAS DAY IS DONE
ALL THE GIFTS ARE OPEN NOW
ALL THE GIFTS BUT ONE

ONE LONE PRESENT SITS THERE STILL
BENEATH MY CHRISTMAS TREE
A-MID THE PAPER AND THE BOWS
A GIFT YOU'LL NEVER SEE

‘TWAS JUST A SIMPLE PRESENT
A GIFT OF CHRISTMAS CHEER
A TOKEN OF MY LOVE FOR YOU
TO LAST THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

YOU WERE A GIFT SO TRUE AND WARM
A GIFT OF JOY AND LIGHT
A GIFT OF HOPE AND LAUGHTER
MY BRIGHT STAR IN THE NIGHT

I COULD NEVER GIVE TO YOU
THE GIFT YOU WERE TO ME
NOT IF COULD SEARCH THE WORLD
AND HAD ETERNITY

NOW MY CHANCE TO GIVE TO YOU
THAT CHRISTMAS LOVE IS GONE
ALL THE GIFTS ARE OPENED NOW
ALL THE GIFTS BUT ONE

I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WON'T BE HERE
TO SING YOU'RE LOVELY SONG
OR SHINE YOUR MAGIC LIGHT UPON
THE ONE YOU LOVED SO LONG

SO THANKS FOR ALL THE CHRISTMAS' PAST
AND ALL YOUR JOY AND LIGHT
YOUR GIFTS OF HOPE AND LAUGHTER
MY BRIGHT STAR IN THE NIGHT
THANKS FOR ALL THE GIFTS YOU WERE
MY BRIGHT STAR IN THE NIGHT
